Clover, Guinness and.....paella

It only took 10 minutes and because it's so small and made of cotton I didn't even need to block it!

The pattern came from a great book called 100 flowers to knit and crochet by Lesley Stanfield:

The book has lots of patterns for leaves, fruits and vegetables so it's not just flowers! It was a Christmas gift and today was the first time I made one of the patterns.

And after that we went out to an Irish bar near where we live that we saw months ago but had never been inside before

had some typical Irish Guinness

....with a not so typically Irish tapa....

paella!

And carrying on with the food theme, look at these strawberries we bought yesterday:

It's definitely strawberry season here in Spain now and there are delicious strawberries in all the supermarkets/fruit shops. I couldn't resist buying such a big box of yummy looking strawberries and look how big some of them are:

They are so sweet too and after bringing that huge box home we've got our snacks/desserts for the next 3 days or so :)

I bought this crochet magazine earlier this week. It's a 'crochet around the home' special and there were strawberries here too.

Oh that is adorable!! My signiture piece is clovers, or monkeys, or peace signs...oh never mind...I like them all! But that clover is too cute! Loved your shawls in the past posts, wow, you are so busy I cannot keep up! I may have to take up crochet seeing how fast you can make stuff! I love instant gratification!!
